Authors comment: Anyone who's bothered to google Teen Titans knows the full history of Raven, her struggle with Trigon, the Titans, the Justice League and the end of all this trouble. Well, this of course, destroys that history and substitutes its own. In this chapter, the truth of Raven's father and destiny come forth, from a very unexpected source. Batman.

Disclaimer: I don't own the titans, and I don't really want to. BB's tofu would kill me.

"Terra? Is it really you?" Beast boy asked, leaping from Robin's bedside to grasp her hand, and then drawing her into a tight hug. "Terra!" He said in a shocked, dog-like yelp. "I'm so glad you're back."

"Me too." Robin said, sitting up carefully. "Before I even consider talking to the other divisions of Titans, I need to know exactly how you're free of the stone prison Slade gave you."

The blonde tilted her head at Beast Boy's reaction, and ran a gloved hand down his spine softly. "It's alright BB, I'm just fine, and I'm glad to see you all too." As the green boy pulled back she turned and frowned towards Robin. "Fine. But first you tell me what's happening, where Raven and Starfire are, why you're using telekinetic abilities, and finally what all this talk of Slade is. I thought…" She looked away, rubbing her arm. "I thought I'd killed him."

"You did." Came another voice. Now a little frustrated, Robin turned to the doorway to see a tall looking man in pure black step through the doorway.

"Shouldn't you be in Gotham?" Robin asked guardedly.

"I was until I saw these." Batman said, laying a stack of pictures on Robin's bed. He looked down to the one on top. "What you're looking at there is your spell caster breaking out in ancient dark symbols all over her face. Also, they have a meaning. The ones on her hands and arms there in the next picture explain fully."

Robin tossed aside the pictures. "You gonna tell me what they mean or let this hang over my head?" The man scratched his chin.

"I'll tell you. Basically, they all tell a bit of a story. A demon gives birth to a daughter. The demon is sealed in the underworld. The Demon's servant awakens the daughter. The daughter rebirths the demon, and together they destroy the world." Robin winced.

"That puts it pretty clearly."

Robin turned toward Beast Boy with a glare. "Thank you genius." He said a bit miffed off about it all.

"Of course, then there is the writing on the other arm, its story goes pretty much the same, save one detail. The Demon's daughter destroys her father before the world can be destroyed." Robin frowned. It helped to hear that this was a possibility… but….

"I happened to have been monitoring Jump City. I have some bad news. Titans East is destroyed. This, Slade got to it some time in the past hour. Currently, the surviving members are making their way here." Robin and Cyborg both tensed at this news.

"I see. Then… I don't think we have a choice. Raven get in contac-" He stopped and looked at Cyborg. "I… sorry about that, I mean, Cyborg get hold of the others and-"

"I got it." Cyborg said, shrugging and following the caped crusader out of the door.

"Now, explain to me what's up with Slade." Terra commanded, only barely tentatively. Robin explained. He was able to cover all the bases, helped along by these new bits of information. "But all of the Teen Titans, we'd have to add about nine more floors or more. And, don't you think Slade would attack in an instant?"

Robin grinned as an idea formed in his mind. But for it, he'd need more than he had. Moving to the screen across the room, he pushed a few buttons on the keyboard and cleared his throat. "This is Robin of Teen Titans of the Planet Earth. I wish to speak to the one called Starfire." He repeated this message only once more before the screen fizzed to life and a pale face came into view.

"Star is out. What are you calling for?" Raven asked, shyly.

"Cyborg, Beast Boy, Terra and I want you two back. Now." Raven's eyes widened as Terra moved closer.

"Terra?" She asked, shocked.

"That's what they say." She replied softly.

"We can't come back Robin. You know what will happen if we do." Robin grinned.

"Au Contraire, dear Raven, the markings on your body say otherwise. They speak of only the freeing of Trigon, and the POSSIBLE destruction of Earth." Raven's eyes grew wider still, then she regained her calmness.

"You want me to come back, even if it could cause the end of Earth?" She asked coolly.

Robin only nodded. "I want you to come back more than anything."
